Against medical advice (AMA) is when a patient declines treatment or tests, or leaves a facility, contrary to a physician's recommendation. Often this issue arises when a patient at a psychiatric facility insists on leaving, or his family insists on taking him away, despite a medical recommendation that he remain in the facility.
